FINGER RING
Unique ID: IOW-69E9B7
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A complete and misshapen gold finger-ring, probably of Medieval to Modern date.
This finger-ring is 'D'-shaped in cross-section, undecorated and unmarked. However, the inner face is slightly convex. Due to the undiagnostic nature of the find it can not be securely dated and as such falls outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996.
Length: 24.0mm; width: 17.3mm; width of hoop: 1.9mm; thickness of hoop: 0.9mm. Weight: 1.73g.
